Question

During the electrolysis of different compounds, hydrogen exhibits dual behaviour. Which of the following sets of observations correctly maps hydrogen's resemblance to alkali metals and halogens respectively?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

In $HCl(aq)$, $H^+$ migrates to the cathode (resembling electropositive alkali metals). In molten $NaH$, hydrogen exists as the hydride ion ($H^-$) and migrates to the anode (resembling electronegative halides).
